Pages

Last week I went to BYU's Education Week and took oodles of great notes amounting to 76 pages on a bunch of interesting classes. I'd like to share some of those notes with you over the next few days. And of course, since 76 pages would be (cough) a lot (cough) to sift through, I will break them up by general topic and make them a little more presentable.

to complete it in 7 years or file again.
